College, State & Federal Sanctions for Violation of Alcohol and Drug Policies/Laws

Students not using alcohol or other drugs themselves, but knowingly associating with other students or student groups who are violating the College’s Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) policy, will be subject to the same disciplinary action as those students who were actually violating the college AOD policy.

Undesirable conduct stemming from off-campus usage of AODA is subject to disciplinary action by DACC. Any individual, group or organization which permits undesirable conduct stemming from off-campus AOD usage is subject to disciplinary action by the College.

Students are not allowed to transport or consume alcoholic beverages before or during college sponsored trips. Further individuals are not permitted to participate in college sponsored events on or off campus after drinking and when intoxicated.
